I use my Dell laptop at home by connecting it to a single large monitor. In such a scenario what is the technical advantage / use-case for a docking station?
So I understand that if I have several peripherals but only 2 or 3 USB ports then a USB hub does a desired function. But unless I want to split my HDMI output over several external displays what's the use-case for docking stations?
The reason I ask is that docking stations seem to be also several times more expensive than a USB hub. What gives?
What additional function do the perform?
